Preamble to Our By-laws

The Peace and Freedom Party is an open, multi-tendency, movement-oriented socialist party. We are united in our common commitment to socialism, democracy, feminism and unionism and our common opposition to capitalism, imperialism, racism, sexism and elitism.

These by-laws do not define socialism, nor do they identify the strategies and tactics of how to achieve socialism. We agree that socialism is necessary and that it will open up a democratic decision-making process for appropriate use of resources and distribution of labor.

The Partisan (1994-2009)

The Partisan was the newspaper published by the Peace And Freedom Party State Central Committee and was published regularly from 1994 to 2009.

Peace and Freedom Party Literature and Pamphlets

Published: 25 February 2008

The following Peace and Freedom Party pamphlets and leaflets are in the Adobe PDF format. You will need the free Adobe Acrobat Reader to view and print these files.

When printing for local distribution, please pay attention to the page size. Some issues of the party newsletter, for example, are designed to be printed two-sided on legal (8.5 x 14 inch) paper, then folded once to form a four-page booklet.

Here is an another tip for printing PDF files. In the Adobe Acrobat print dialog on a PC, be sure to chose "none" for page scaling. Do not choose "fit to printable area" or "shrink to printable area". (The exact jargon may vary according to the version of Acrobat and computer you are using.) If this results in the outside edges being cut off, then try a different printer. Use "fit to printable area" as a last resort.

If you’re using a Mac, you'll probably use Preview rather than Acrobat, and the print dialog box will vary with the application, but the same principles apply. It may take some juggling. If you have problems, consult a Mac-expert.

Voter Registration

In California, voter registration is very important to political parties. The very existence of a political party as "ballot-qualified" is determined by the number of votes its statewide candidates receive or by the number of voters registered with the party. As the only feminist socialist political party on the California ballot, it is imperative that the Peace and Freedom Party continues as a qualified party. Quite simply, the Peace and Freedom Party will not be able to provide Californians with candidates that will represent us unless we register and vote Peace and Freedom.
